collocations in English (1) fall into a number of different categories. In this article I should like to draw a (2) distinction between "ordinary" collocations and those that are so fixed that they can be called idioms. Although my main focus is on "ordinary" collocations, I shall also to some extent (3) take idioms into consideration too. I plan to (4) raise a number of questions about learning  collocations in a foreign or second language. I shall attempt to answer these questions by (5) making reference to the work of the leading writers in the field. My intention is to make a strong (6) case for a more intensive focus on collocation in the language learning process. I shall also (7) touch on issues such as pronunciation.
